Sierra leone’s Petroleum Regulatory Agency (PRA) has assured of the availability of petroleum products to serve residents throughout the festive season and beyond.

The Agency gave this assurance in press release issued today, Thursday 15 December 2022, regarding the current situation of long queues at fuel stations across the country.

“Petroleum Regulatory Agency (PRA) has observed queues at some retail outlets in the major cities for Petrol.
